He will find it difficult to move even an inch. Dinesh Mohan recalls, "Going out to buy something 100 meters from home felt like winning a gold medal. You can guess the level of laziness and frustration he was dealing with at the time. No friends, no social life and no emotional support make things worse for him. People started shaming him because of his weight gain and physical appearance, from which he used to isolate himself completely.

He used to find solace in food and therefore, whenever he felt low or sad, he would eat and repeat. In his words, "he will destroy everything he finds in the house." Overeating leads to obesity and triggers high blood sugar (diabetes) and heart problems. Not only this,
